I just got back from looking at my friend's buggy. He made the linkage work by cutting the tin and tig welding in a piece of 3/8" dia. tubing that was slit in half lengthwise. He metal finished it then repainted the tin. I fits in so well you have to really look to see that the tin is notched. ...

[QUOTE="Don Giovanoni;14429"]I am familiar with the situation as I have been going through this myself. I can't speak of how manifolds/carbs will fit with your body; mine is a Siggy with even a little less rear clearance than the original Manx. I ordered the CB Performance offset manifold ...

This probably won't fit an original Manx body but it sure is strong.

I hope it remains a secret! Try giving people more than 4hrs. to answer your question. It's the middle of summer, I'm sure they don't live to answer your questions on the internet.

1) Measure the old lines. 2) I would bet you can get away with just bleeding the top bleeders, since there is already fluid in the bottom of the caliper.

Go back to where you came from! Just Kidding, Bill.....Welcome back!

You might want to check the Generator brushes, as they wear they lose tension and can cause your flickering. Brushes can be changed with the Generator on the car.

I bought the seals from the Chassis Shop in Mears Michigan http://secure.chassisshop.com/categories/6317/ I suggest using hardened washers over the seal to prevent the washer from deforming as you tighten the nuts.

[QUOTE="tim morgan;13988"]Mel,Got any left,,Would like to see a picture of one,Thanks Tim[/QUOTE] I would like to see it as well.

These are what I used: http://secure.chassisshop.com/partpic/100/75/assets/catalog/parts/Earls/pn_178006/178006_1.jpg It's called a "Stat O Seal" and I think Earls sells them. I welded the the taper around the hole and machined it flat then I installed the seal and a flat washer on the bol...

Great looking buggy, Bob, are you going to bring it to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in August to bounce around the dunes for awhile? I think Joe plans on being there.
